Overcame His Scruples.

Senator Stanford of California, it is
well known about Washington, has the
fastest horses in this part of the country.
and he is very fond of ride behind
one of his flyers, but he never handles
the ribbons Racing he abominates.
and nothing will induce him to deviate
from . rule not to personally try con-
clusions with another horseman. Last
spring the senator was annoyed on
several occasions by horse owner in
this city who persisted in tempting him
for a brush whenever they met in the
Monument grounds. But all his efforts
were futile, and as the fellow did not
know who the quiet elderly-looking
man was. he frequently bantered him
to let his horse out Just for fun, but the
senator refrained from racing, greatly
to the wonder of the driver who usually
accompanied him from his residence to
tho senate. One day, however. there
was change in the programme, when
the senator delighted his man with a
commission. It was necessary for the
owner of the trotter to 60 over to New
York, and On his way to the station he
met his annoyer. After reaching the
depot and slowing his valise in a
parlor car, the senator called his driver
aside and said: Give that man . good
brush if you meet him going back. and
take the conceit out Of him" This wal
what the driver wanted, and, - good
luck would have it. the horseman wa

dreds of drunken men were to be
seen, most OF them were old soldiers

they were lying helpless on the

attention to them. With all their
saloons the city is not prosperous
and a few Of the citizens are begin

second Tuesday after the meeting
and organization thereof, proceed to
elect a Senator in Congress in the
place OF. said Senator so gong out of
office, in the following manner.
The act goes on to show how the
election shall be conducted. We
think it Is plain that an election to
fill vacancy does not come under
this law, and that the Legislature
may proceed, as soon as it chooses
after It's organization, to elect a
Senator IN place of Gen. Logan,
and may adopt its own methods as
to ballotings and meetings. The
statute law requires at least one
ballot each day IN joint session until
some candidate shall have received a
majority. This reduces the posi-
bllltles OF tilibustering to the mini
mum. If, however, the Legislature
shall determine that it is bound only
by the Constitution, and not by the
law of Congress, in thl, particular
case, the way will be opened for an
old-iashioned and prolonged contest

CLEVELAND, O., April Cone of the
most complicated railroad cases ever put on
trial was begun to-day in the United States
circuit court. Judge Gresham, of the cir
cult which includes Illinois, In diana and
Wisconsin, met Circuit Judges Jackson and
Walker at Cleveland to determi he certain
questions which arise in the fore closure of
the mortgage on the Toledo, Cincinn att 81
St Louis railroad. The railroad in litiga-
ton extends from Toleda to Cincinnati in
the state of Ohio. and from Toledo through
the states of Indiana and Illinois to st.
Louis. The railroad was hardly completed
when it passed into the hands of receiver,
appointed by Judge Hammond in August
1888. The title of the case is the Central
Trust company. of New York. VS.. the To-
ledo. Cincinnati & ST. Louis Railroad COM
pany. The railroad is the consolidation of
eight different companies. and complica-
tons have arisen about apportioning the
claims OF the creditors of the various di-
visions. The claims were referred to w.
+. FiShback and A. j. Kicks as special
commissioners, and two reports have been
made by Kicks and one by FiShback. The
meeting of Judges Gresham, Jackson and
Walker is to effect some uniformity of rul-
ing on the questions in the two circuits
which have jurisdiction over different Dor
lions of the road. There is a dispute about
the payment and apportonment of from
5000 to 1000 claims which accrued within
the six months prior to the appointment of
the receiver and this was argued at length
by c. w. Fairbanks to-day. as well as by
Col. r. G. Ingersoll. The question of the
superintendent Of liabilities for $3.50, 600 of
receivers certificates is also an important
item. The aggregate of all the claims

luton offered by Mr.. Kenyon. to the effect
that on and after April 5, 1887, all second
class rates from st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS
to Chicago, Milwaukee. Peoria, st. Louis,
Missouri river points. and intermediate
points, be abolished. was lost by the mega
tive vote of the Wisconsin Central, and a
resolution to this effect was adopted, viz:
that, up to and including April f. 1887, the
use of the st. Paul & Minneapolis rate
sheet of March, 1887, be continued; that
after that date. until further information is
received from connections no second-c class
tickets be sold beyond the lines of the asso-
citation. 1t is now asserted by several of the
roads that on Tuesday last the Minneapolis
& Northwestern and the Wisconsin Central
were quoting second class rates. The other
roads, therefore. yesterday afternoon agreed
to do the same. Accordingly second-cla
rate is now quoted by all the roads except
to points south of the Ohio river, known as
the territory of the Southern Passenger as
ISOLATION, and Minnesota and Dakota points.
